It should just work for the models supported by the kernel.

See compatibility table [1]. The latest git of the patchset has untested
support for one more model, see latest compatibility table [2]. If you need
other models supported, I would be happy to add support for them to the
kernel, provided there is anyone having the device and willing to help with
diagnostics and testing.

There should be no configuration needed, unless you have the WizardPen
driver installed and configured. In the latter case you may need to remove
WizardPen configuration. The tablets having a mouse will have it as a
separate kernel evdev device and it will be handled by the X.org evdev
driver.

Could you please specify the kernel and evdev versions? I could test them
and try to find out what went wrong.

Thanks :)

Sincerely,
Nick
